The Society'’ s Show of 1905. 
exceptional merit of the exhibits, especially in the Dairy 
Shorthorn classes and the young Heifer classes. Considering 
the great number of entries, it was surprising to see so few that 
could hardly be expected at a “Royal” Show. The Female 
Championship was gained by Mr. F. Miller, with Lady Amy 
7th, His Majesty the King’s Beceptvm being Reserve Number. 
. Lincolnshire Red Short-horns. — Class 78 contained three 
bulls, all of real merit. The two-year-old and yearling bulls 
(Classes 79 and 80) were not up to the usual merit. Class 81 
consisted of really good cows, showing great milking qualities. 
The heifers (Classes 82 and 83) were short in numbers and 
were not good. 
Herefords.- — Class 85 contained only two exhibits, but one 
of these was His Majesty The King’s fine bull, Fire King , 
for the third year in succession Male Champion. The two-year- 
old bulls (Class 86) produced the Reserve Champion, Mr. A. P. 
Turner’s Marquis. The yearlings (Class 87) were representa- 
tive, and some of them gave promise of winning greater honours. 
Amongst the Female Classes, the cows (Class 88) were the best, 
containing both the Champion and the Reserve Champion. The 
first was Sir C. H. Rouse Boughton’s Lady Betty , an animal that 
retains its form well, though nine years old, and the Reserve 
was Mr. T. R. Thompson’s Bonnie Mary. The two-year-old 
heifers (Class 89) were a useful lot, much on a par with the. 
corresponding class of bulls. The yearlings (Class 90) had an 
easy winner in Mr. C. T. Pulley’s Ashleaf 3rd , and there were 
other fair exhibits in the class. 
Devons. — The Judge reports that the exhibition was a very 
creditable one and a distinct advance on some previous years. 
Mr. J. C. Williams gained the Male Championship with 
Drosera , a bull that occupied the same position in 1904 and 
that obtained the Reserve Championship in 1903. The female 
animals were more in number and were of good type. The 
yearling heifers (Class 96) were all commended. 
South Devons. — The two bulls (Class 97) were both of such 
good type and quality that the Judge had difficulty in settling 
the award ; the second prize was awarded under regulation 32 
upon his strong recommendation. The winning animals in the 
cow and heifer class (98) were good representatives of the breed. 
Sussex. — Only two bulls were shown in Class 100, but both 
were of great merit and received the first and second prizes. 
Upon the whole the exhibition was good and up to the 
usual standard. 
Welsh. — All four bulls in Class 106 received notice, the 
first prize going to Mr. John Scourfield, for Lloffwr , “ a very 
even bull.” Class 107 had seven entries, and the Judge 
praises highly the first prize bull, Mr. John Owen’s Derw
